    New 5 track EP available for download today. Saint Cecelia.

    Edit - it's free as well which is nice.

    Wonder how long they are going to be gone for as a band? Dave cannot stay away and will obviously be popping up in side projects or guest spots for others but as a band that letter makes it sound like they are knackered in a musical sense.

    I'd say after this tour cycle, the Foo's might go away for a bit, recharge their batteries/members off doing their own thing.. Then come back down the line and go again.

    They've been on a pretty long tour schedule for the last couple of years to be fair - looking at some sites, they've basically been touring internationally since 2011, with about a six months' break being the longest. And the recent tour wasn't small venues, these were big gigs. These guys are all getting on, they've got families who now probably can't tour with them for the most part.

    Boo hoo, big millionaire rock stars living it up internationally, but I think anyone would be fncking exhausted and dying to just get home to their families and stick their feet up and watch crap TV with a beer in their hand.

    He says they've recorded a pile of new stuff, so that'll probably get released in dribs and drabs so that the Foos don't get forgotten, and in 3 or 4 years' time they'll head on a big tour again.

    So it's a band announcement, not a tour announcement.

    Reckon one of the guys is leaving

    Rumours of a break up being tossed around as well.

    Agreed. Good video, song doesn't do much for me...


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,672 ✭✭✭ScummyMan


    That's... Different. Could be a grower

    It's definitely a grower!
    I think it's definitely one the their better newer material.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,202 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    When i heard the intro i was like of no what have they become (in a bad way) but then when it kicks in i was glad with the change. But i do think it will need to grow on me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,407 ✭✭✭Wrongway1985


    Better than they've been recently but that's saying very little.

    2 pretty average songs so far. Doesn't bode well.

    Boring band puts out another mediocre record, colour me surprised!

    Id be happy with the Aviva , Went to my first gig at the Aviva this summer for Robbie Williams and felt it was way better than Croke Park especially getting in an out . But even felt the sound was better as well.

    QOTSA
    Weezer

    Stuff of dreams that line-up lol

    Hope they don't play in Malahide Castle or Marley Park. Hate field gigs

    3 nights in the 3arena would be acceptable

    I wonder will Foo Fighters headline download next year??

    I'd love it if they went back to playing their songs and stopped turning every second one into a 10 minute jam. It would put me off going to see them.

    Justin Timberlake?! :pac:

    If they play here it'll be the usual one night in a stadium at a 100 quid a ticket. Not for me!

    Ah, it's only a few la-la-las in the background. Not a duet or anything.

    Who knows, maybe the small your Weezer are doing next month is just a warm up for more next year.

    yeah a few good tracks but some are a bit dower, like Run, Sunday Rain, Make It Right and arrows

    still ill hopefully see them when/if they tour around here, there classics like Learn To Fly, Monkey Wrench, Everloing etc cant be beaten


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,647 ✭✭✭Penfailed


    Personally, I think it's a return to form.  I like it lots :)
